Chapter 22
Chapter 22
The battle was approaching. A crowd surrounding the two children gathered outside the guild walls. The bets were still going on. Erza already drew her sword and stood up, Aidan finished the last drops of wine and staggered to the nearest member of the guild. She turned out to be Cana, who liked this funny guy more and more ... Aidan handed her an empty bottle and rewarded her with a grateful smile, and then returned to the center of the circle, took off his jacket and threw it aside with the words:
- My ice will freeze your feet, roll aside!
Everyone obediently walked away, Gray looked thoughtfully at the back of the newcomer and retreated along with everyone:
"So he has ice ... And why am I not surprised, such a feeling, strange ..."
The territory was vacated, but Makarov, who appeared in time, did not leave, but hit the ground with his cane and said menacingly:
"Don't you dare cripple each other, understand?
Erza just nodded, continuing to glare at the boy who was still ignoring her.
- Yes, no question, - Aidan nodded: - But ... This, old man ...
- What else?
- If I win, why not take a drink for free?

- Bless you!
- Eh, - Aidan finally looked at Erza and smiled: - Still so cute, even when you are angry ...
- Begin! - the scarlet-haired woman growled and rushed at the enemy. He blinked and staggered into a rack: - Let's light it up!
The battle has begun! Erza's blade has changed in the air, turning into a wide blade with a sharp guard, she used Rearmament! Aidan was naturally not going to wait for her attack. In close combat, he is clearly weaker, as soon as Erza gets picked up - defeat will be the last problem. Even a little drunk, he still knew well and already knew what to do best for him. His body and physical skills did not differ from those of the most ordinary children, because only ice magic and long distance!
Aidan took a step and an icy wave erupted from his sole in all directions. A dark freeze froze all the soil around in a matter of seconds. Every mage in the guild was amazed, the guy's ice almost reached them, then suddenly stopped.
- Damn it! Is that ice ?!
- Look, he's some kind of black!
- Fuck, does that happen?
Gray stared in amazement at the deep blue glaciers and could not understand how this was possible. What kind of wizard can create ice of this color? Why is he like that? Ur did not teach him this! In addition, its freezing properties for the ice magician became obvious, it clearly surpassed simple ice ... Even Makarov was amazed at what had happened, this dark ice definitely did not smelt of something good, and it certainly did not look like simple magic - from her dark and ancient notes of the magic of the past emanated!
Lost magic? Dark ice ... "- the old man only frowned harder, now that sensation from the eyes of the child seemed even more strange.
At the same time, the battle between the two wizards has already flared up with renewed vigor.
Erza did not stop at all, not even a second had passed since the appearance of the ice, then the girl's sword finally caught up with Aidan. Only he deftly rolled to the side on the created ice rink and threw his palm into the back of the scarlet-haired one. The girl clearly realized all the danger and put her sword right in the air to block, then a wave of cold bound her blade. Young Titania was amazed! The ice was spreading so quickly that she could no longer resist. The blade had to be thrown and jumped to the side, so she finally landed on the slippery surface and was able to catch her balance.
- What the ... - Erza exhaled and a golden spear appeared in her hand: - What kind of magic do you have ?!
Aidan created a cane and paused in the middle of the battlefield, still slightly drunk as he smiled.
- I'm an ice mage, what's wrong with that?
- Don't pretend! This ice is not just cold, it is even difficult for me to stand on it. You are not just an ice mage. So what is this magic ?!
Aidan smiled and shrugged.
- Win and find out! If, of course, you have enough strength!
Gritting her teeth, Erza growled and charged into battle again. Her fighting skills never let her down! Even the instant rearmament of weapons was given to her very simply, she could not lose to some impudent newcomer!
Natsu and Gray watched in shock. For the first time, they saw someone their age pushing Erza!
- Damn, he is fighting back Erza herself, pinch me ... - Natsu hissed, Gray bared his teeth and slapped him on the head:
- You're welcome!
- Oh you ... - the two were about to quarrel again, as the steel rang, and then a scream was heard.
The scarlet-haired woman was thrown back again by a wave of ice, while Aidan kept his distance. Only this time, the girl quickly re-armed and again rushed into the attack, so he had to throw up his palms and release a whole volley of sharp icicles.
There was a ringing sound, dark ice flew to the sides, and Erza continued to make her way to the enemy. Now even Aidan felt tension, the animals most often could not resist him and even Vulcan he could freeze, but here Erza ...
Suddenly, the girl screamed and stopped abruptly, after which she threw back the blade and stared at her palm in amazement, slowly ice crystals appeared on it and spread with renewed vigor. This ice, even without the owner's order, tried to freeze everything in the way!
The girl clenched her fist, and the ice broke afterwards, only its coldness brought a burning pain that pierced the whole body. This ice was clearly different from simple and taking it on an unprotected body can be a terrible test. Only, she was not going to give up! A new blade appeared and again rushed to the enemy, but this time around Erza there were a dozen more like him!
The silver blades gleamed in the sun and even the ice looked great underfoot. Aidan realized that it would be even more difficult to fight her now. Yet his creation was not perfect ...
Straightening up, the guy had already sobered up noticeably, the bright rays of the sun touched the red mark of the guild on his back and he calmly turned to his opponent:
"Since it came to this, how about a small bet?
Erza was visibly surprised. His behavior from complete ignorance and carelessness became so serious and calm.
- Bets?
The guy nodded:
- I will listen to you if you win, but if you lose, you will stop teaching me and you will have to fulfill my one wish.
- A wish? Erza tensed. "What kind of desire?
`` I haven't figured it out yet, although if you're afraid, we can just disperse and ... '' Before he had finished, Erza shouted resolutely:
- I'm not afraid! I agree! If you lose, you won't drink any more and return the task, okay ?!
- Of course, if you have enough strength ...
Erza got angry and abruptly gave the order for all the blades to go down to attack. For the first time in the fight, Aidan put his hand together and used a solid spell:
- Print! - instantly a black wave, mixed with the blue power of ice, burst out of the hands of the young man, in just a few moments a hexagonal wall with an ancient seal in the center appeared in front of him. All of Erza's swords slammed right into the emerging seal of protection!
